Happy 16th Anniversary

Happy 16th Anniversary to my beloved Christine.

Thank you for putting up with me and your patience for all these years.

Five Years!

Five years ago today I asked Christine to be my wife. The speed with which some relationships come and go and the relativity effect of time in SL probably means it feels like far longer.

Thank you for your patience, for your indulgence, for challenging me and for being with me.

I am a very lucky man.

Happy Fourth Anniversary

Four years and we're still here. I'm sure it must be some sort of record. Thank you my dearest Christine for sharing them with me.

Happy 2nd Anniversary

Two years ago today we stood together in a chapel high above Loch Avie.



Through house moves and sim closures, wars and invasions, and battling the time-zone vexatioun she has stood by my side. Sometimes with a look of pride, others with a look of long sufferance.



You've indulged my interest in vehicles and gadgets and explored with me when lag made it hard for you to even walk.

Thank you Christine for making me a very happy man and for being by my side.

Anniversary milestone

This Sunday will mark the 1st Anniversary of my betrothal to the most wonderful woman I know, Christine McAllister.



From curious beginnings to definitive attraction of two like minded people to marriage with love and true friendship, it's hard to believe only a year has passed. I consider myself honoured to have been blessed with such a wonderful friend and partner.

RL has conspired to postpone our anniversary celebrations but we should be organising something within the next week or two. Most probably venue will be Caledon Argylle. Do feel free to drop by. Things are still being shifted and tweaked as we settle in to the new place but you're more than welcome to drop by for a visit. Enjoy the picnic on the shore.

Say hello to Percy and Laudanum (I'm still impressed by how well peacocks and cats seem be able to get along) while you're there :-)

Happy anniversary

Saturday also marked the 6 month anniversary of the handfasting of myself and my dearest Christine.

Happy Anniversary my love!

With this ring...

Last night I completed a journey many months in the making. The road to this point was often bumpy, occasionally potholed, and early on suffered from the denial that the woman next to me on the road was actually travelling in the same direction.


High above Loch Avie, Christine and I were handfasted in front of a few close friends.


Miss Emilly Orr stood as my witness


While Christine's brother, TotalLunar Eclipse, stood as hers


Vows were exchanged


As were rings.


Sir Edward and Lady Pearse


We headed to the newly opened Steelhead Hotel and Ballroom


And danced the night away with many friends and others.


Before leaving on Miss Tombola's gift of a horse and gig.


And headed off to destinations away from Caledon and Steelhead for a weekend in each other's company (with a little light luggage).

My deepest thanks to all those who made this very special day possible and to all those who wished us well.

One more sleep...

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY.



The chapel is decorated. My outfit is done. The music is organised. The reception is organised.

In the time since I have come to know this amazing woman she has slowly found a very special place in my life and in my heart.

It's been a rather hectic week with me being away for the weekend, then trying to get the Cavorite Flying Vehicle finished for the Steampunk Expo (which it's only in display readiness - still some bugs to work on) and then getting my outfit finished for Friday.

But this weekend will be worth it.
